People always ask me to "colorize" these marble statues. I don't see the point.

What's your opinion?
I'm not against the idea of seeing them in color. I just do not think colorization is the way to go. A traditional painter would do a more accurate job, both historically and aesthetically.
The techniques are quite different. In colorization you can not "draw" details. So if something is not visible in the picture (the iris, for example), you can not recreate it/paint it.

If you want to digitally reconstruct the colors, it is easier to create a 3D version (IMO).
By the way, I didn't do this.
That said, I think it can look really nice, but it's something that needs to be done with the right technique.

On this day in 1952: Queen Elizabeth II succeeds King George VI to the British throne and proclaimed Queen of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms including Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
On 31 January 1952, despite advice from those close to him, the King went to London Airport to see off Princess Elizabeth, who was going on her tour of Australia via Kenya. On the morning of 6 February at 07:30 GMT, George VI was found dead in bed at Sandringham House in Norfolk.
He had died from a coronary thrombosis in his sleep at the age of 56.

His daughter flew back to Britain from Kenya as Queen Elizabeth II.

I was nominated to share my 10 favorite books, so here we go....

1. Night - Elie Wiesel. In this book, Elie Wiesel describes in vivid details his experience with his father at Auschwitz and Buchenwald in 1944–1945. One of the best books I've ever read. Powerful and essential.
2. The Book of Why: The New Science of Cause and Effect.

I love it.
3. I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer.

The first true crime book that I read from cover to cover. Even more interesting now that they finally identified and arrested the "Golden State Killer".

people always ask me about drawing, so i wanted to make something that would give someone all the information they need to really dive in. here it is. 11 pages, this is everything you need to start seriously or casually practicing classical style drawing. hope you enjoy. (1/3)
tweet 2 out of 3, pages 5 - 8:
tweet 3 of 3, pages 9 - 11. this is a unique skill that's foundational to western art yet is often absent from art education, even in present day art schools. hope you get some value out of this and maybe access a new part of your brain that was previously going unused.

People always ask me why I don’t make my content more acceptable to non disabled people online.

My question is: why would I?

Everything about disability seems to be made to abled people.

Movies, inspiration-bait ignore disabled realities in favor of inspiring nondisabled.
It’s disabled people that need connection, representation, understanding and inclusion.

Not half-assed mimicry of our lives so abled people can feel good about themselves.

We need people we can see and relate too. Not people who will smile in our faces to placate us while
Robbing us of any opportunities because they fear the competition.

What was I saying?

Oh yeah.

That’s why I don’t make disability content aimed at abled people they have plenty and I won’t be contributing to their (often) willful ignorance.

People always ask how they can help streamers and the answer isn’t just $$$
- Tell your friends about the channel
- Welcome new members to chat
- Hype up subs / bits / donos
- Do commands for people
- RT the stream
- Talk in chat
- Share our social medias
- Ask questions in chat
Since this got more attention than I was thinking I’ll add some more and explain my thoughts:
- When viewers bring their friends to chat with them it makes our community seem incredibly friendly and warm to everyone and allows more viewers to engage and chat because they want to
- Tell the streamer about cool chat commands, bots, games you saw
- Did you see something on twitter about a sponsorship or opportunity? Let them know!
- See a streamer at a con? Ask them if you can take a picture with them and share it on social media
- Ask them how their day is

People always ask why I spend so much time in the Baltics. I always answer: it's closer to the war. How someone reacts to that tells you how much they understand, or not.

Returned to the Tallinn Military Cemetery today. The immediacy of Estonian history is always present: /1
The Tallinn Military Cemetery (Kaitseväe Kalmistu) is a quiet, mournful place.

When the Russians occupied Estonia during WWII, they began knocking down the graves of Estonians and burying dead Russians on top of them. /2
Most of these misshapen hunks of rock are new tombstones installed by the Russians in the last 20 yrs. These graves are maintained by the Russian embassy to make a political point.

Keep an eye on the guy in the background. More on him later. /3

People always ask me what the RNC is doing wrong. That answer is too big for Twitter. But here's an example. The answer to every question on TV since Tuesday should've been, "[Brief answer, pivot to] Why did the DNC choose a racist for a deputy chair, and why is he still there?"
2. I might as well just make this thread... Between 8/10 - 9/10 GOP voters consistently tell us that they don't believe GOP in Congress do enough to defend @realDonaldTrump or to pass his agenda. They spook at the first sign of a bad headline. No one wants to vote for cowards.
3. Further, a majority of voters, and a larger majority of independents, do not support impeachment proceedings. We all know Democrats will move to impeach @realDonaldTrump if they take the House. But we're poli-junkies. The fact the gen-pop doesn't know is a failure of the RNC.

So I have a ton of series I’m behind on, and many more I haven’t even started. BUT, I also have this. I’m gonna do a rewatch thread instead~ I’ve seen this show many times, but the last time I got all the way through it was probably more than a decade ago. So let’s do this! 🦄
First, to set the mood: The opening. a classic. Admire Miki's floofy clothes~
Admire Miki's willingness to shill the official MB goods right away in the OP
